The Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS), in partnership with the Danish Red Cross and the European Union Commission’s Water Facility, has recently handed over to communies in western Uganda 464 water sources, as their four-year water and sanitation project in Uganda draws to an end.

The ice cap on Uganda's highest peak has split because of global warming, Uganda's Wildlife Authority (UWA) says. The glacier is located at an altitude of 5,109m (16,763ft) in the Rwenzori mountain range, near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
